2018 Publisher Repertoire Payment

The 2018 Publisher Repertoire claim period will be open from June 1 to August 31.

All publishers affiliated with Access Copyright as of December 31, 2017 will be eligible to complete a claim for the 2018 payment.

The 2018 payment will be based on publishing revenue reported to us for the 2016 fiscal year. Learn more about the annual repertoire payment.

More details on how to submit a claim will be coming in the spring.

This is the time to stand up and take action.

The federal government has launched a review of the Copyright Act.

This is an important opportunity to call on the government to ensure that balance is restored so that publishers will once again be fairly compensated for educational copying of their works.
